[android-developers] onDestroy/AlarmManager interaction on install?
Hi, I just tracked down a really hairy issue that made a lot of my users think my app did nothing and made me really confused because I couldn't recreate it on my phone. In my onDestroy, an AlarmManager sets up a repeating alarm if a given preference is set to true (defaults to true). When the app is installed for the first time, the onDestroy method is called. Is this expected? I know that the onDestroy is called because I have a toast message that shows when it is, and theoretically the AlarmManager is doing its thing. This causes some weird issue where the alarm and/or the service it calls is permanently broken... until the app is reinstalled. This is why I didn't catch it until I tried really hard to look for it using the emulator since I'd already tried several versions on my phone and there was no way to put it back into the state where the error would happen. I'm now getting around this by checking another preference variable and assuming it's an initial install if the pref is null and immediately exiting out of the method. Any ideas on why this is happening? I don't see why the onDestroy is called when the app is first installed, and I especially don't understand why using the AlarmManager in onDestroy causes a basically permanently broken state.

[android-developers] Re: Thread Question
onCreate:
show the progress dialog in the main thread.
spawn your thread
when the thread completes, call dismiss() on the progress dialog from the
Thread using an Handler:
Handler mHandler = new Handler(); in the main thread
mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
mProgressDialog.dimiss();
}
}); in your thread when it completes.
You can also make intermediate refreshes if the operation is very long, for
example if you use a list view, you can post a refresh when adding a new
element.
Beware, when you call a function in another thread than the main one that
affect the UI, always use the Handler technique.
It should do the trick.
2008/11/7 joshbeck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
First, thanks.
I tried blocking the main thread, and quickly determined it wasn't
a good idea. Didn't solve anything, but hey at least I know now.
Here's what I'm working on:
I have an application.
It downloads a bunch of data and then loads that data into variables
which
are used to present the user with an initial display.
If I load the variables and show the display the screen just goes
black for like
20-30 seconds.
If I background the thread, the variables aren't loaded prior to the
display being drawn.
Ideally, I'd like to use the progressbar to show a loading screen,
but the loading bar
doesn't show up unless the primary view is ready.
I'm think the solution is to have the program start an initial
activity that is small and prompts
the user for a button press. That button press then activates a thread/
progress bar which
in turn uses an intent to open the primary view.
Make sense?
If I have two separate activity files working in the same project, can
I create public variables that are shared?
Thanks,
Josh Beck

You should (i'd say must) never call blocking functions in the main

[android-developers] Re: Android on device GPS locate not working - code included
Our application also use GPS and it works as well as the maps application,
and we tested it on the G1.
Did you call requestUpdates on the LocationManager ?
2008/11/7 Amir [EMAIL PROTECTED]
OK Android enthusiasts...here's where the GPS story has led us. We
figured out after hard-coding a location via finding latitude and
longitude of my house that the application via the G1 does in-fact
communicate flawlessly with our website.
The issue though is turning on GPS capabilities on the device via
private void updateLocation(Location loc).
Basically, we did notice that when using the maps application on the
G1, a 'GPS' icon is presented on the top right side of the phone. We
aren't seeing this through our application and we believe it's because
the function, private void updateLocation(Location loc) never gets
executed...
Any thoughts? Does anyone know what needs to be done to initiate this
function?
Cheers

double sLatitude = loc.getLatitude();

String location = sLatitude+,+sLongitude;

I did the following:

if (loc == null)
{
locType = Network;
loc =

In this case if the GPS service does not have a fix or is switched
off, the network, though not as accurate as GPS should be active
and
give you an approximate location.
All the best,

And you must see the sky for the GPS to work.
Your code and permissions seem correct, try using the network

to test (which is faster and work in buildings unlike the GPS).
Make sure GPS location provider is enabled on the phone settings.
You can check your location with the standard map application.

Yes, run it in another thread --- look up java.lang.Thread. Be aware
that methods in another thread can't call anything in the UI directly,
though; look up Handler.
void doSomethingInBackground()
{
/* Here we're in the UI thread. */
final Handler handler = new Handler();
Thread thread = new Thread()
{
public void run()
{
/* Here we're in the background thread. */

{
public void run()
{
/* Back in the UI thread again. Tell the user we're

}
}
);
}
};
/* Start background thread, don't wait (will return immediately). */
thread.start();
}
If you think the syntax is nasty, you're not the only one. Bear in mind
that your activity may have finished by the time the thread completes.
Also, if you're going to do this a lot, you'll want to reuse the Handler
and Thread objects.

You have the TextView height set to fill_parent. Android makes a single
pass throughlayoutfiles, so by the time it gets to your buttons, there
is no more vertical space available.

[android-developers] Re: AACPlus - Decoding a Stream? - Anyone Shoutcast?
Dave thanks so much for your reply! I really appreciate it! I'm trying to understand why it wouldn't work... I handled my connection properly to one of the radios on ShoutCast and stored around 1MB of data to be later tested if the correct information was sent... It was successful on playing the file on my PC but not MediaPlayer on android... So that would tell me I achieved a proper connection via HTTP... maybe I'm confusing my self? About the metadata tags I could just write a function to parse my stream data and give me my metadata tags... right?

[android-developers] Re: adb shell permissions on real G1 device
It seems that too many people have believed the media hype, or were under the incorrect impression that T-Mobile's G1 would be completely open and free. *Android* (made by Google and the community) is open source and free for use, but the T-Mobile G1 is somewhat locked down, which is what T-Mobile wanted.

Yes, run it in another thread --- look up java.lang.Thread. Be aware
that methods in another thread can't call anything in the UI directly,
though; look up Handler.
void doSomethingInBackground()
{

final Handler handler = new Handler();
Thread thread = new Thread()

public void run()
{
/* Here we're in the background thread. */

If you think the syntax is nasty, you're not the only one. Bear in mind
that your activity may have finished by the time the thread completes.
Also, if you're going to do this a lot, you'll want to reuse the Handler
and Thread objects.

[android-developers] Re: Request for developers HTC G1 (T-Mobile) review
I can't necessarily fill you in on the categories, but here's my take (including the occasional reference to other devel platform I've worked with) The good - I found Dalvik is completely adhering to original Java SE. Pretty sensational in my view. - SDK capabilities far surpass anyhting else out there (for what I am doing, location/map-based work). - Emulator is an accurate representation of Android on the device, minus device specific properties of course, such as dynamics of location providers, telco network access in pause/resume cycles, tilt sensor and so on - After having worked with cross-compilation environments (scratchbox), I am impressed with the ease of loading and running/ debugging apps on the device. Select Run in Eclipse, select target (handset connected with USB) and off you go. Very refreshing because it's built like one would expect. - Speaking of scratchbox. Setting up the Android development environment in general is a breeze. Simple and straightforward - No NDA's and other proprietaries a la Apple The bad - Poor community support, despite the occassional bright spot. We've seen Kafkaesque situations between Google (The castle) and developer community (villagers) without signs of significant improvement. Now that devices are out, there are many constraints, so things should settle now - Restrictions on the use of the Maps API. I am under the impression this is driven by prior agreements with suppliers of data, and Google's interest. No location-based search (although exposed in the first release of Android and demonstrated in Maps), no street view in API (propably premature to ask for) - Security appears vulnerable and untested as of yet. I get the sense something bad's going to happen sooner than later - Android market comments not moderated, i.e. rating system is flooded by trolls posting prophanities, becoming increasingly useless. The irrelevant - From a plain app development perspective, the open source aspect of Android is actually pretty irrelevant. The binaries of Android are preloaded with the shipped handsets, and the users will not tinker with it, i.e. this is the target for app development, open source, or not. Having said that, having released private SDK releases last summer hurt Google's reputation in the community. Now that devices are out, that's materially irrelevant as well.

But this way the .so is stored on your phone in 2 locations, using a lot unnecessary space.

The JavaDoc of the constant NETWORK_PROVIDER (http://code.google.com/android/reference/ android/location/LocationManager.html#NETWORK_PROVIDER) states Results are retrieved by means of a network lookup.. What does this mean? How is the positioning done technically? It seems nobody in this group can answer my questions. Do you know another place I can look for answers?

The reason you can't play the file is the media player doesn't support raw AAC files. You could wrap them in a M4A format and that should work, but you won't be able to get a seamless playback stream.

[android-developers] Camera preview on G1 only works in landscape ?
this problem appears to be unit dependent. on my G1, the camera orientation is always wrong. on the G1 belonging to a colleage, it's correct. this would suggest that if i set rotation, it would fix some phones and break others. are the G1 hardware camera parameters documented anywhere apart from the source code? log messages indicate that there are many more parameters than the base API allows access to. tx Did you try using parameters.set(rotation, 90) for the G1?

So I decided to do the same. I would guess that it's possible to somewhat manually rotate the image, using a view- or image-related class, but I don't think there's anything like that in the camera-related classes. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Eh, blocking on user input is rarely the way to do things. Your activity has to be able to respond to other events - such as being killed or put to sleep when the phone rings. A mobile phone is an event driven environment - so Google built Android that way. If I read your post right, I'd be doing anything that's a long server transaction in a thread, and if the user must wait for that, I'd present them with a progress dialog, which is dismissed when the thread completes (i.e. posts via a Runnable). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Adding an external Jar error
Hey guys, alittle more info, I do not have the jar loaded twice or have multiples of the same classes. I am using the HelloAndroid sample to try to load a jar so the only classes I have is the HelloAndroid and the R class. Even after i unload the jar and re-load it, I still get the error.

[android-developers] Custom Parcelables in external JARs... how to get this working?
I have a custom Parcelable which I have gotten working internally in the project in which it is compiled. That project is then exported as a JAR in Eclipse, and this JAR is in turn referenced by another project which wants to pass the custom Parcelable as a parameter in AIDL calls. However, when interfaces try to use this, the import statement for the custom parcelable in the interfaces' .aidl files show a little red no go sign which a mouseover details as meaning couldn't find import for class com.foo.MyCustomParcelable Is the aidl not smart enough to look to find these items in the JAR file the failing project uses externally?

[android-developers] Does AlarmManager wake up to do scheduled work when phone is asleep?
According to API doc for AlarmManager.set : Alarm intents are delivered with a data extra of type int called Intent.EXTRA_ALARM_COUNT that indicates how many past alarm events have been accumulated into this intent broadcast. Recurring alarms that have gone undelivered because the phone was asleep may have a count greater than one when delivered. Does this imply when my phone is asleep, AlarmManager does not wake up to do its scheduled work until the phone wakes up?

[android-developers] polite request for better error messages
hey, give me a break - for once i'm celebrating a *great* error message :-) Just to amplify a bit on Dianne's point, Android is a heterogeneous system that includes subsystems that were originally open source, third party proprietary IP (much of which is now open source), Google propietrary IP, and new IP that was created by Google specifically for Android. Some of these subsystems have very transparent error reporting, and some are quite opaque. There are ongoing efforts to improve error reporting, but they have to be balanced against the demand for bug fixes and new features.

[android-developers] Re: Custom Parcelables in external JARs... how to get this working?
Well, you need to have the source .aidl file in the sources of the app that is using it, just like you have it in the library. These don't work like Java files where you can link to the generated jar or whatever without the source; the source is needed for everyone that is compiling against it.
